Quick pushback/clarification here, as someone who lived in a town that was majority Alaska natives.

Most Arctic peoples are not Inuit, and the terms are not interchangeable. The Inuit are a specific people, and a lot of other tribes find it pretty insulting to get lumped in as one bit group under that name. It's like calling all Europeans Swedes.

The people I lived around were mostly Yupik and Tlingit, with a few Aleut folks. They actually preferred "Eskimo" as a broad term over Inuit, but their ideal would be their actual names.

If you want to refer to the natives of the Arctic and surrounding areas as a group, Arctic peoples is better. If they're specifically from Alaska, you can instead go with Alaska natives (and yes, it's Alaska, not Alaskan).

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

The Ancients: History of the Inuit

In this instalment of The Ancients we're going north of the Arctic circle to uncover the incredible story of the Thule Inuit. Expanding out from present day Alaska east across North America all the way to Greenland more than 1,000 years ago, the early Inuit managed to survive and thrive in freezing cold conditions. But how exactly did they do so? What did they hunt? And how did they live?

Tristan Hughes invites archeologist Raven Todd daSilva onto the podcast to explore the lifestyle of some of the Arctic's earliest inhabitants - from the sophisticated subterranean houses they built to the huge range of gadgets that they used to hunt whales, bears, caribou and seals. It is a gripping tale of survival, but also one of astonishing ancient innovation.

Fantasy books stop having arctic kingdoms of all blond hair blue eyed white people.

#i just. hate it #its so overdone and kinda racist esp because it always evokes that old nazi idea of an ancient arctic empire of blue eye blond haired peopl #it erased actual arctic indigenous people and is completely untrue #so idk if youre gonna go the arctic route maybe try to learn about actual arctic people because they probably wont be white #fantasy

Two People Of the Midnight Sun guarding a snared hare against a juvenile sunsinger, a wolf sized mustelid that lives as an ambush predator and opportunistic scavenger in the arctic tundra and gets its name from the male's yowling calls during the springtime breeding season.

These people primarily manufacture small knives for skinning prey and bloodletting their host animals, and do not have weapons capable of dealing with large predators. Their primary defense in this situation is the tried and true predator mitigation strategy of puffing up and making a lot of noise. Like their caelin/delkhin relatives, polar caelin have gular sacs that amplify their calls, primarily used for long distance communication and song but also adequate for making a general cacophony.

This sunsinger physically outmatches its foes by a long shot, but is hesitant to get any closer to a pair of loud, unfamiliar, and seemingly fearless opponents, and quite frustrated about this whole situation. It will most likely walk away from this confrontation hungry rather than risk a physical altercation, particularly when reinforcements from these people’s clan hear all the yelling and come to dive bomb the shit out of it.

#Polar caelin are an entirely different species to the rest. In spite of their radically different morphology wrt wings caelin are a little #more closely related to delkhin than to these guys.#Caelin and polar caelin are not mechanically capable of breeding/laying each other's eggs and even if they were they would #only produce sterile young (while caelin and delkhin can produce fertile male hybrids and sterile females)#The range of polar caelin peoples is confined to the northern polar landmass and some of its islands because they aren't proficient #at gliding flight and can't disperse overseas. Whereas mainland caelin have populations everywhere including the arctic #The sunsinger is based off Ekorus #creatures #people of the midnight sun

The narrator and the ugly ahh protagonist [Blank Scripts AU/non-canonical]

#tsp blank scripts au #non canonical art #shitpost #this is fr how people be drawing narrator and stanley.... narrator being way too handsome and stanley as a background character naahh..#honestly i just drew him like that because it was funny but then i got too attached to it like an idiot aghh #The Narrator (Black) is an entirely different made-up species originating from the ancient Arctic north #long before the Crystal Empire was even built.#The old one's tail only ever wags whenever Stanley is around. You can clearly tell who the favorite pony is #Imagine Black showing Stanley courtship behaviors like rolling on his back #showing his stomach to him #sliding his wings on his chin #trotting like a dancing mare around him #and generally just showing off to show Stanley that he's interested in him...#But because of the species difference (and because Stanley is one airheaded fella)#Stanley doesn't understand what Black is doing other than he looks beautiful while doing it.#the narrator (Black) can read Stanley's thoughts btw #so he knows what that silly guy is thinking about :)#tsp au #the stanley parable #the stanley parable ultra deluxe #mlp #my little pony #mlp oc #my little pony oc #tsp #tspud #tsp narrator #narrator tsp #stanley tsp #tsp stanley

You should plan on doing a meet and greet one day!

.

#I think you don't fully realize how far away from everything I live #Finland as a country is pretty remote from most places #and my home town is remote by Finnish standards #I'd actually love to go to a con for at least once but I'm in the middle of nowhere and travelling is expensive time consuming and stressful #and I have both intense social anxiety and fear of crowds so I don't know how that would pan out #but it was a cute thought!#it's nice to think that there's people out there who might see me as someone worth meeting irl #answered #anonymous #relive the lost franklin expedition by coming to see me in the arctic

a little detail that i noticed (and adore) about alex is how sometimes he gets so comfortable with some of the people he meets that he just takes photos with them by glueing his cheek/forehead/whole face on them in such a lovely way, like this:
